May 10, 1850.
For five months have been afflicted with ulcer
ated throat. so pronounced by my physician, and
have not been able to speak above a whisper.
During the time have been under the treatment
of three physicians, who as believe, did all they
could for me, but for some cause every available
remedy failed to produce the desired result.
At last my friends persuaded me to see DIR.
Libby as they believed he could cure me. Accord
lngly visited him and am happy to say that a
course of treatment given by him has entirely
cured me and am now able to talk as well as
ever. | have also gained in strength very much.
Judging by the rule given in scripture that 'the
tree is known by its fruit" | should say that the
system practised by DIR. Libby of "Mental Cure"
Is second to none, aud hereby cheerfully recon-
mend the sick and suffering TO neither give up
nor despair Of hope until they have given him a
fair trial, my experience has proved that he Is
neither humbug fraud nor uuack.

MENTAL CURE.
SOME VERY RRmARKABLE CURES.

Or. Libby
Dear Sr-It is with deep feeling OF graft
tude to God, and many earnest wishes for
your future success In your noble work, that the
following facts are submitted to the public. For
seven years | have been afflicted with chronic
dyspepsia and nervOusl prostratOn, with all OF its
attendent difficulties. What have suffered l can
never describe, as words are inadequate TO
express the pain Of both body and mind. l
became low spirited. and was about discouraged,
when some Of my friends brought to my notice
few very wonderful cures, which was wrought by
you. and as these testimonials were some OF our
citizens in our immediate vicinity. instead Of
Mexico, or California, il gave me courage TO hope
that by the blessings of heaven you might be en-
abled to give me the help so much stood in need
Of. do not now remember just how many treat
ments you gave me, and cannet therefore tell the
amount paid for my cure, but If you could have
had all the money paid for medicine, and other
systems of cure, which did me no good, should
feel much better satisfied. and yet it would be
poor remuneration for your services which has
resulted in restoring me to health and happiness.
Wishing you as good success in Portland as you
had in Boston, / am very truly

to this want of cooperation. In my own
orchard, in the Santa Cruz mountains,
comparatively isolated, very fair results
have been obtained. 1t is evident that in
thickly settled community, unless all con-
cerned do their duty, the work will be
largely in vain.
PICKING OFF INFESTED FRUIT.
The practice of picking off infested fruit,
of course, comes under the same head as
the band system. In that it aims at re-
duction or determination Of the next
brood, it should go hand in hand with the
band system. 1t is also open to the objec-
ton that unless the neighboIs do their
duty little good is accomplished.
Whenever feasible the custom of keeping
hogs in the orchard is good one, Is in
this manner all the wormy fruit is de-
voured, this naturally greatly preventing
the increase of the moth.

Paradise in Butte County.

EDS. RECORD UNION: Paradise is begin
ming to feel the effects of the general boom,
which appears to be contagious. This,
after all, is perhaps nothing more than a
general reaching out after better things.
Men who have ceased to progress, who, as
it were, have become fossils, are gradually
stepping aside and giving away to men OF
more push and energy. There are still
hundreds of men in every part of the State
who have made sufficient amount of i'm
provement upon their farms TO enable
them to exist from the proceeds. and there
they rest and crystalline into fossils. As these
give way to men Of progression, the boom
spreads out and envelops the country in
general prosperity.
Many farmers here are planting large
numbers of cuttings from the raisin grape,
with view to future vineyards. A num-
Der of olive trees have been planted and
large numbers of cuttings imbedded for
future planting.
The new bridge over Butte creek on the
road from Paradise to Chico is completed,
and is in every respect first-class bridge.
Parties from Paradise, under the lead of
our energetic roadmaster, have surveyed
and cut out trail upon better grade than
the old road, the Board of Supervisors
having promised to make an appropriation
to construct road twelve feet in width in
the new survey.
The people of Paradise desire to make
known to the people of Northern California
generally, and to the committee in particu-
lar whose duty it is TO select site for the
Normal School, that they are not TO be out
done in generosity by any other section of
the country. speak Understandings when
/ say that we will donate forty acres OF
land, covered with Gods evergreen trees,
through which flows a stream perennial OF
pure and sparkling water. The air is salu-
brious here, the scenery fine, reaching to
the snow-capped Sierras on the north and
east to the Coast Range on the west to
the north there are the ridges and canyons
covered with evergreen shrubbery as a
foreground; then the lower belts, the
Marysville Buttes and the valley of the Sac
ramento, with its wooded belts bordering
upon the rivers, which make up picture
not easily surpassed.
The natural advantages of Paradise and
the higher regions above are such that at
no distant day, perhaps,r abroad men may
see their advantage in connecting Paradise
by rail with the centers of trade.

GROWING PLANTS IN MoIsT SPoNGEs.-A
correspondent in London Gardening gives
the following method for growing hya-
cinths and other bulbs in sponges, which
our lady readers can easily try The bulbs
are bedded in deep missions made in large
sponges, which are closed snugly over and
around the bulbs ana then placed in appro-
priately shaped vases. Water moderately
warmed-say $50 or 70o-is then poured
into the vase until it reaches about half the
hight of the sponge. The bulbs begin to
sprout in two or three days, and in about six
weeks the plants are as many inches high,
and continue to thrive until the flowers
come out, of unusually large size and
perfect form. The sponge is hidden
after the first week or so by SOW
ing rape seed upon it, the resultant
growth completely covering it with moss
like vegetation. From its porous, warm
nature, the sponge seems well adapted to
the purpose, and dilute fertilizing material
might, it would seem. be added to aid the
quick development Of the plant

Old plow that art rusting outside the barn door,
No more shall thy blade cleaye the mold
Thy handles are broken-thy clevis 10 more
Thy beam full of cracks, as the marx OF lime
And thy share but the shadow Of what twas
Thou uv art wasted, forsaken and old.
In the days of thy youth thou vert polished and
As tbe Shield of Achilles renowned
Thy furrow slice rolled like wave to the rlgnt,
OR IS foes shrank away from the hero IN flght
When thy burrowing point pierced the ground
When bought in thy newness-a purchase Of
Mans progress had proof of its truth
For, beside thee, the ploWs that our iatneis uiu
Or those that their fathers hearts once satisfied,
Were but primitive marvels uneouth.
The patient old horses did steadily draw
Thy glistening steel DER the iieldg
Thy master as steadily followed and saw
How thou did'st constantly, constantly gnaW
The edge of the land that was tiled
Again and again at the seasons recoi
WAS thy sturdy assistance required
For the wealth of each year is the gift OF the
And labor must gather this manna-like spoil
Ere the morn Of the year has expired
Thou did st faithfully follow still, day after day,
The horses that YEARLY went
Every foot of the fields did acknowledge thy
And thy Strength was diffused through the loan
But now thou art useless and spent.
In thy towering boyhood s best days.
Thy master to thee was attached
Thy touch was familiar and thorough thy
ways
Thy obedient virtues twas easy to praise
For thy merits have never been matched.
Who can tell the abundance thou'st helped to
produce,
Through the years that have fed like a
dream?
Dame Nature her treasures will never refuse
To the man with the pillow who persistently woes
For her favors to fall upon him
Thou teachest me mutely the burden of life,
AS thou standest behind the barn door
Howe'er to the end with fidelity rife,
Our portion is toll and our triumph is strife
And neglect, when our strength Is no more.

AFTER THE BABY CAME.

After the baby came, how changed the place
The old home frightened with a newer grace
The roses grew more thickly round the door,
And softer were the sunbeams on the floor;
Full sweeter was the song of every bird
From that glad day his little voice was heard
Growing and cooling in such queer delight
But there was more walking done at night,
After the baby came.
After the baby came it seemed as though
Earth could not be so full of griefand woe,
That all the gates of happiness and bliss
Master was he of wondTous tricks and arts,
By which he won his way into our hearts,
From that first hour was heard his feeble wall
Yet how barked my shins at midnight pale,
After the baby came
